CHICAGO. October IA Ne,s special
from Memphis, Tenn, says When the
pilot train preceding the Presidential

morning, the engineer discovered the
| trestle 10 be on fire. He did not make
| the discovery until it was too late 10 stop
/ the train before the engine had passed
over the burning portion. As soon as
possible he backed the train off the tres

| He found that a section about ten feet
square was in flames and that the fire
had been started on the under side of the
timbers.
The engineer and all the rest Of the
trainmen, with the help of some of the
passengers, succeeded in putting out the
fire, when 10 was discovered that the
flames had not eaten dangerously far into
The wood. and the trestle was still safe for
the passage Of trains Had the train been
ten minutes later, however, there might
have been another ChatswOrth horror 90
chronicle.
TT WAS THE WORK or TRAlN-wREcHERs.
A Nor, sta correspondent, who hap
pened 90 bc ON the train, madea careful
examination of the burned timbers, which
gave unmistakable evidence of am attempt
at irain-wrecking. The fire was started
ON the under side of the rrosstics i'm such
a manner that there can be- no possibility
that sparks were the cause of il. Then,
too, the fse was certainly set TO more
than one tie at time, for 10 could not
have jumped from one to another without
burning Inc sides of the timber more
than 70 did The conclusion is almost
irresistible that somebody had applied a
torch 20 al least eight OF nine Of the tim
